Whisk together the brown sugar, paprika, pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne in a small bowl.

Brush a thin layer of mustard over the ribs to act as a binder, then coat generously with the dry rub on both sides.

Wrap the ribs tightly in foil, sealing the edges well, and bake in the oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until tender.

Carefully remove the ribs from the foil and brush them lightly with apple cider vinegar to add moisture.
